In the last month of 2022, logistics costs slowed down compared to previous months, but the increase accumulated last year it turned out to be the highest in 20 years. Gas logistics and transportation costs: increased by 100% in 2022
According to data from a study on the evolution of the National Logistics Costs Index prepared for the Chamber of Commerce of Logistics Operators (CEDOL), of the National Technological University (UTN), details that the strong increases that led to this annual record have been recorded within the freight cost components.
In this sense, fuel up 121% on the year, tires up 124% and rolling stock up 154%. And, although the rest of the components have accumulated slightly lower increases, all have hit the CEDOL index, with Transport Costs which closed at 118.69%, and also the urban distribution cost indicators which reached percentages close to 102%.
“As previously indicated, the annual increase had a high impact, which can also be observed in the FADEEAC Polynomial where the figures were as follows: FADEEAC December 2022: 4.06% – Accumulated 2022: 121.30% Of the five indicators mentioned (including that of FADEEAC), three register an annual cumulative rate above 100%, two of these close to 120%, and those which do not exceed 100% reach 87.25% and 97.30%.Therefore , all the results are very close to or above 100%, making the cost of logistics operations a critical element in the sector during 2022”, underline from CEDOL.
